Mangokjeongsa Temple

Mangokjeongsa Temple is a pavilion built in 1790, the fourteenth year of King Jeongjo, by the Confucian scholar Jo Sul-do (1729–1803) above Seonyugul in Wondang-ri, Yeongyang, for the purpose of teaching. Jo Sul-do, who went by the pen name Mangok, devoted himself to scholarship and to training younger students, and compiled the "Mangok munjip" (Collected Works of Mangok), which includes poetry, prose, and records of the hyangeumjurye, a ceremonial rite of communal drinking performed in accordance with etiquette and procedure. His disciples later moved the building and rebuilt it in Jugok-dong, calling it Maunjeong, before it was moved again to its present site and renamed Mangokjeongsa. It has an unusual structure, including a storage space behind the ondol room on the left and an enclosed wooden floor area, and it retains well the architectural style of late Joseon.
